Officers said Banks Lane, 25, sped off when they tried to pull him over on Highway 80. The chase continued for miles into Jackson, where it ended at Battlefield Park when Banks lost control of his vehicle and hit a police cruiser and another car, authorities said.

Banks took off running and was captured with the help of a police dog that chased him down, Chief Russel James said.

James said officers would not have pursued the vehicle had they known a 2-year-old child and the woman were inside.

"The driver makes the decision to run. The other people in the car don't have any control over it," James said. "In this case, it seems like the other people in the car, the passenger, wanted out of the vehicle (and) didn't want to have anything to do with this. So, that individual makes the decision to put everybody that he comes in contact with in danger -- the officer, the public, the other people in the vehicle -- so, it's a terribly dangerous thing to take place."

The officer involved in the crash hit his head and suffered some minor injuries in the crash. The officer is going to be OK, James said.

James said the woman in the car is Lane's girlfriend. He's facing fleeing and felony child endangerment charges.
